Two points need to be made about Safire\'s definition of \"counterleak\":
1. The sentence is not well constructed. The relative pronoun \"who\" does not refer to a clear prior noun. Safire could have written the sentence much more clearly.
2. Safire\'s definition, whatever \"who\" refers to, is too restrictive. The truth is that \"counterleak\" is used in a broad variety of ways, all of which hover around the idea of a leak made in response to another leak, usually with an opposite political motivation. Another possible translation would be تسريب معارض
